See, the problem with St. Ives is, I am terribly biased because I seriously LOVE all of their products! I used St. Ives facial scrubs and care for years, they were the first product line I ever used because of their natural ingredients, effectiveness and of course, lovely luxe scents!
I have to admit, I am not typically a fan of mineral clay masks because I feel they tend to dry my skin out. This particular one, had the same chalky-type consistency of all other clay masks I have used before so there was nothing all that different there. The one difference I did notice is afterwards, when the mask had ben removed, my skin was left feeling quenched, rather than dried out. It seemed to tighten the appearance of my pores and left them really clean feeling and looking.
The scent of this mask was quite nice, not too fragranced but just enough to enjoy a fresh scent. I quite enjoy this mask as a weekly treat for my face after a long week of wearing makeup!

St. Ives® Creamy Vanilla Triple Butters Body Wash

I've long loved St. Ives for both their effective, great scented products and their price point. This body wash felt like I should have paid double for it, it was so luxurious! Rich lather, warm, rich vanilla scent that lasted on my skin throughout the day and very moisturizing. I skipped moisturizing after the shower to see how my skin was hydrated from the body wash and I have to say, I didn't even miss my body lotion at all! This wash left my skin scented, soft and clean. Price point is fantastic and is available just about anywhere in drugstores and grocers. -
Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cranberry with Blackberry

I LOVE Brookside chocolate to begin with but this...chocolate married with a healthy, non-GMO granola bar is just a perfect match made in heaven! These bars are perfect for an afternoon snack right around 3pm when you get hit with a sweet tooth craving, but packs enough punch to keep you full on the good stuff until dinner! Packed with flavor, the right amount of crunch yet still soft and chewy...I have to say, I was QUITE surprised by how delicious these bars are and I love the flavor variety! Even my husband liked them (and he normally hates granola/snack bars!) and asked where I was hiding the others! I HIGHLY recommend the Brookside brand! -

Arbonne Mineral Powder Foundation

LOVE Arbonne! Love mostly, that Arbonne is 100% natural and not bad for you! No fillers and nothing you have to feel guilty about for slathering on your skin! This foundation is a medium weight, not heavy feeling, but it's there. It blends easily and leaves behind no trace of anything on your skin. Virtually disappears into your pores and gives an all-over healthy looking glow. For my combination skin, it was a little oil and I had to blot with oil absorbing papers by about mid-day. Because it is a mineral makeup, you don't have to worry about it causing blemishes. The price point is very high compared to most however, you are paying for a very high quality product with some very high quality ingredients in it. If you can afford it, the splurge is worthwhile. Not many color shades to choose from, I went with the Light and added bronzer powder over top as it was a little lighter than my skin tone but the Medium would have been too dark. -

I had such high hopes for this mascara since my Facebook newsfeed is filled with raves about it on a daily basis....now that I think about it, it's only the Younique reps who are singing its praises! ,.....And I think I know why! This mascara promises you the look of false lashes with just a simple application of first their lash fibers then sealing it with their mascara gel. It applies beautifully, the wand is a nice and full size and it comes in a snazzy little black case that looks like an eyeglass case. Don't be fooled! Within minutes of applying, fibers were shedding all over my face. I made sure I sealed the fibers with the top coat and followed directions to a T - and my Husband was still wiping black fibers off my face all day! NOT WORTH the money, I wouldn't even pay drugstore mascara prices for Younique! -

I LOVE CoverGirl mascaras, they rival and sometimes outperform much higher end and priced mascaras I have used. I always end up going back to CoverGirl! I was skeptical at first of the 'extensions' in this one as I have had bad luck with fiber mascaras in the past, leaving me with black fuzzy cheekbones and racoon eyes....this one did not flake! Not even the next morning after sleeping in it, not a single flake to be found! Love the staying power of this mascara and removal is a breeze with just water alone (though it does come off feeling very slimy when it's removed!). 5 out of 5 stars! -

For the price point, you cannot go wrong. This foundation delivers! It most definitely is shocking when first applied, as it goes on very white but within seconds of being applied to the skin, it virtually disappears before your eyes leaving no traces of makeup. The viscosity of this foundation is very light compared to most I have used, but not liquid-y or runny. It applies with a very dry-to-the-touch finish and has staying power that lasts all day through work, the gym afterwards and well into an evening. -
L'Oreal Paris Collagen Filler Lip

Likes: the lip plumper is very moisturizing without a greasy feel or overly shiny look, it is a fantastic night lip treatment and you will wake up with soft, moisturized lips; no 'tingle' factor that most plumpers seem to have
Dislikes: the anti-feathering creme does little for me and does not seem to live up to its claim to 're-define' the contours of your lips, the applicator isn't the greatest
I received this as a free promo from ChickAdvisor; even though it's not too expensive in a drugstore, I still don't think I would buy it.
I already have fairly plump lips though, so I'm not often impressed with plumpers because I don't really notice a difference. I do notice the moisturizing effect they have over regular lip balms and glosses though, and this one is really great for that. My friend has very thin lips though and she raves about this product working very well for her.
